(BCN) — Napa County officers have agreed to buy an 874-acre parkland in a $7.26 million deal. In response to the county, the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday licensed the acquisition of Skyline Wilderness Park, which can change into a part of the county’s park system.
The transaction is predicted to shut in March 2025.
The park, positioned east of the town of Napa, options 25 miles of trails for mountain climbing, biking and horseback driving, with native vegetation and wildlife.
Since 1980, the county leased the property from the state for public open house. State Senator Invoice Dodd (D-Napa) authored laws in 2019 to authorize the sale of the property to the county.

Underneath the settlement, Napa County can have accountability for park upkeep, water rights, and vital repairs.
“Today marks the culmination of the efforts of so many who have helped to secure Skyline’s preservation and all it offers to the community for generations to come,” Board of Supervisors chair Joelle Gallagher stated Tuesday. “With local control, we can ensure Skyline thrives as a space for recreation, and a place for residents and visitors to reconnect with nature.”
The county is within the course of of buying from the state the 80-acre Camp Coombs property, a former space of Napa State Hospital, and including it to the Skyline Wilderness Park. The Board of Supervisors is predicted to think about the deal in 2025, county officers stated.
